What is the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) model?

The LRC is our proprietary long‑range weather‑forecast model that showcases how the atmosphere repeats a stable 35‑ to 80‑day cycle each year. Once that cycle locks in each autumn, we can map its echoes forward—pinpointing storm windows, temperature swings, and precipitation trends months in advance.

How far ahead can Weather 20/20 predict?

Weather 20/20 provides long-range forecasts up to 12 months ahead—pinpointing storm windows, temperature swings, drought risks, and other significant weather patterns across the globe. Forecast resolution is available down to a 10×10 mile area. These long-range forecasts support strategic weather planning and operational decisions months in advance.

How accurate are your long-range forecasts?

Independent verification shows we hit the timing of severe‑weather windows—flooding, tornado, hail, and damaging‑wind outbreaks—more than 90 % of the time. A 10‑year peer‑reviewed study found the LRC is 36%–76% accurate on temperature within ±5 °F up to 10 months into the future. This level of accuracy makes the LRC ideal for managing operational weather risk in high-stakes industries.

Do you offer an API for developers?

Developers can access our REST JSON API—or optional S3 bulk delivery—to stream daily LRC‑based outlooks into dashboards, ERPs, or analytics pipelines.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a 14‑day, no‑credit‑card preview of both the Vision Dashboard and the Global Predictor. Cancel anytime during the trial to avoid charges.

What regions are covered?

The LRC forecast is global and can provide county-level detail anywhere in the world.

How does the LRC model compare to traditional climate models?

Traditional climate models use ensemble averages and lose reliability beyond 10 to 15 days. In contrast, the LRC model identifies a repeating atmospheric cycle—allowing Weather 20/20 to forecast specific weather windows up to one year in advance. This long-range precision gives our clients a major advantage in planning for storms, temperature swings, and drought conditions.
